[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way in a million years I would go with a newborn and a 2 year old.

Would you be willing to take the 2 year old all by yourself so your parents can see him?

Let me guess, your best man and that is too much work.

:roll:

You guys will be divorced in 5 years btw if you keep this bs up.[/quote]

No way she's being totally unreasonable. Flying with a 6 week old is a piece of cake and you can get immunizations early if you want. AND you're going to a family event where people will be bending over backwards to help.

A siblings wedding is one of the things you suck it up for OP.

Bwaa ha ha ha! Nobody will be bending over backwards.  They are going to be in line for the bride’s signature wedding cocktail.  [/quote]

Well even if they didn't I would bend over backwards to be there for me or DH's siblings big life milestones (and have actually done that).

People act like having children is like incapacitating. Sure the beginning is hard. And if OP ends up having a super difficult colicky baby and mom is totally burned out at 6 weeks then I would have total sympathy for her bailing. But why do people on this board never want to put themselves through ANY hardship to show up for their family. In all liklihood OP's DW will be fine and the toddler will be in the thick of the festivities. It will be a long tiring weekend and if they can get help they should but it is ONE weekend and this DW is saying way far in advance she would be incapable of going.

If my DH said he wouldn't go to my brother's wedding, for basically any reason, I would be raking him over the coals. We show up for our family, plain and simple. When a sibling of mine died, people showed up. So we show up too, for happy events and for sad events, if we're able we show up. And that's how you become the kind of person people show up for.
